The 9/11 Memorial remembers and honors the 2,983 people who were killed in the horrific attacks of September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993. The design, created by Michael Arad and Peter Walker, consists of two reflecting pools formed in the footprints of the original Twin Towers and a plaza of trees. The 9/11 Memorial Museum displays monumental artifacts linked to the events of 9/11, while presenting intimate stories of loss, compassion, reckoning, and recovery that are central to telling the story of the 2001 and 1993 attacks and the aftermath.
Our National Park Service site consists of a visitor center and memorial. All of our offerings are free of charge.
The 9/11 Tribute Center is a project of the September 11th Families’ Association which brings together those who want to learn about 9/11 with those who experienced it. We invite visitors to share personal stories of the 9/11 community — family members who lost loved ones, survivors, first responders and rescue workers, civilian volunteers, and community residents whose healing is a testament to the perseverance of the human spirit. We provide an understanding of the loss and impact of 9/11 while inspiring the power of resilience and recovery. Stories from the 9/11 community are a bridge from the past to the present, helping students and teachers convey the significant impact of 9/11 in history and in shaping the future. The 9/11 Tribute Center offers students grades 4-12 the unique opportunity to learn about September 11th by interacting with the personal stories of those who were there, a rare opportunity in historical learning. Since we opened our doors, 80,000 students have been inspired by our galleries and our guides. Online, more than 42,000 classrooms have used our oral history videos and materials for their classrooms. The 9/11 Tribute Center is dedicated to collecting, preserving, and sharing the personal histories of those who were there. Help us grow and sustain this community and extraordinary mission. Make your donation in honor or in memory of a loved one. More than 90 percent of every dollar donated goes directly to serving the public and educational programming.

WHO ARE WE? Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City (BBBS of NYC) serves over 5,000 youth annually through several mentoring programs that meet the needs of children in New York City. We provide evidenced-based, impactful mentoring relationships, case management, and educational support to at-risk youth ages 7-18 (up to 21 for teen mothers and youth in foster care). Nearly all of our youth are raised in low-income, single-parent homes. HOW DOES IT WORK? We offer a variety of mentoring programs designed to meet the unique and varied needs of New York City’s youth. Once matched, Littles in our Traditional Mentoring program meet twice a month with their mentor for 6-10 hours per month of enrichment, educational, sports, and/or cultural activities out in the community. In our Workplace Mentoring program, Bigs from participating companies meet students from area schools bi-weekly for one-to-one mentoring at their offices. Our Education Initiative offers Littles academic enrichment programs including college-readiness workshops and computer tutoring stations as well as action-oriented academic intervention programs for struggling students. For a full list of our programs, visit http://www.bigsnyc.org/whatwedo At the center of each program you’ll find a Social Worker dedicated to the success of each Big/Little match and its outcomes. Our staff conducts monthly check-ins, case management and supervision of all parties in the relationship, including parents/caregivers. IS MENTORING EFFECTIVE? A recent study shows that 97% of our Littles are promoted to the next grade, 96% of Littles graduate from high school and 94% are accepted into college. The study also indicates that our program supports Littles in navigating family issues, school issues, poor grades, substance abuse issues, bullying issues, violence issues, and sexual activity issues.
